no place like home

God I am a terrible blogger!  I seem to be much better at posting hourly status updates on facebook than I am at actually summing anything up, dissecting it and taking stock.  But to be fair, it's been a busy couple of months.  Since I last write I turned 34, met Joan Baez randomly at an Indian restaurant, got married at the zoo in Santa Barbara with all our family and friends, flew to North Carolina and back in less than 48 hours, had lunch with an Oscar-winning actor/director, and went to a roller derby for the first time in my life.  Phew!  Yes, it has been a stunningly busy wrap to a stunningly busy summer.  I wish I could say I had a job at the end of it all though if I did I don't know how I could have possibly accomplished all of the above.  But in the midst of all of the above have been a sea of meetings that also feel like a whirlwind, which I hope germinate into something along the lines of work... But in the mean time now I'm home with the cats, watching Gossip Girl, writing my thank-you notes, eating leftover chinese food and getting caught up on life in general.  I suppose I should describe all of the above events, but really?  I don't think I should try.  Suffice to say, turning 34 was uneventful but warm and cozy with a couple of my besties, meeting Joan Baez was unexpected and surreal, getting married was rewarding and special and definitely the best party I've ever thrown, North Carolina was, well, when you buy your tickets at 7:00 and get on a plane at 10:30, a little nerve-wracking and exhausting, but the fact that Cindy's grandmother is still kicking around makes it worth it, lunch was, well, scary and awesome and hopefully part of a larger, grander plan, and roller derby was absolutely unique and fun.  That's about all I can manage to say on the subject of my life right now but I'll do my best to write again sometime in the next month...
